The incident happened around 1 p.m. Saturday at the Shell Gas Station located at 2039 E. Big Beaver Road. Troy police officers responded and noticed burn marks on the man's jacket. He told officers that the burn went through his jacket and shirt but did not make contact with his skin.

Officers responded to the home of the upset customer. He admitted to an argument, but denied burning the other man's jacket with his cigarette.

The incident is being reviewed by the Troy City Attorney.

And around 1 a.m. Sunday, a gas station clerk reported a fight in the parking lot of the Shell gas station at 3990 Rochester Road.

Those involved were a group of people who had rented a limousine bus for a birthday party. Partygoers told police that angry words were exchanged when two men, who were part of the party, thought two of the women were taking too long in the restroom and began banging on the bathroom door.

Police report that this resulted in a fight, and the two participants received very minor injures. All involved parties were intoxicated.

The incident has been turned over to the Troy City Attorney for review.
